New to AutoCAD 2015:
-
Autodesk has introduced a refined interface that aims to reduce eyestrain by adding a darker, softer, and more aesthetically pleasing interface.
- The revised ribbon gallery allows you to visually access drawing content directly from the ribbon itself, bypassing the need to click a command and physically access a separate dialog. For example, you can hover over the ribbon for 'block insertion' to display a thumbnail preview pop-up that will show all of the available blocks, allowing you to insert a specific block into your workspace without having to access a dialog box.
- Autodesk has also included a revamped New tab, which makes it easier to browse and open existing files, start new drawings from specific templates, access tutorial materials, and to connect to the online community through Autodesk 360.
- A command preview function has been added that will allow you to preview the result of certain commands before you commit to your selection. For example, hovering over line segments as you run the TRIM command will visibly remove those segments prior to physically selecting them, giving you a chance to visibly preview the result before you physically execute the command and generate the result.

Striker FAB & DIE Professional 2015
|
As it is with every yearly release, it is important to note that the current Striker 2014 is not compatible with the AutoCAD 2015 version and will not operate within it. As a result, Striker Systems is tentatively targeting 2015 version releases of our Fab and Die Professional CAD/CAM software packages to become available in the next following weeks. Once available, the 2014 Fab Professional and Die Professional versions will be fully compatible with AutoCAD 2015.
If you have an active Technology Assurance Program membership, your FAB Professional 2015 or DIE Professional 2015 upgrade will be delivered to you upon release. If you do not have a Technology Assurance Program membership you can contact Karen Harper at [email protected] or 1-800-950-7862 x203 to discuss your upgrade options.
